The term “embedded Linux” belongs to the category of distributions used in embedded systems, i.e., specialized electronic devices, which are part of a larger system to be controlled, designed for a ...

The proliferation of inexpensive IoT boards means the time has come to gain control not only of applications but also the entire software platform. So, how do you build a custom distribution with ...

USB 2.0, about forty times faster than conventional USB, makes its debut in Linux 2.6. The high speed USB devices support device bandwidth of up to 480 megabits per second, compared to 12 mbit/sec of ...

The augmentation of number of gates on chip makes SOC design more difficult. So we have to work on SOC design tools to make designer work easier and manage all the available gates. We propose an ...

Real-time operating systems (RTOS) and Linux each bring their own advantages for embedded-systems designers. With an RTOS, designers can build deterministic multi-threaded applications with low memory ...

In today’s digital world, manufacturing and other industries are becoming more complex and increasingly automated. This is being driven by the ever-growing demands of B2B customers looking to achieve ...

The Linux operating system is set to become the de facto standard for "embedded" devices like robotics, information appliances and automobile information systems, but fragmentation could prove a ...
